Yeah! Now I can go back to sleep. But actually,I wouldn't have known about Sun flipping phenomon ecept for you guys.

 

[RatsoW8]

Does this mean I have to read my swr meter upside down now?

 

[Lil'Yeshua]

Seriously,what are conditions usually like as the Sun goes towards solar minimum?

band openings will slowly start to weaken or be open less than they are now ,bands that would have weak openings will close down all together...

Enjoy the openings while you can,things will soon be quiet on the upper HF bands

I just move down to 20m or lower and keep on working DX.

not total death to cbers or techs. e skip will flood 12, 11, 10 & 6m with short skip, under 1200 miles, with the occasional double hop farther out, even some 'across the water' contacts, may-aug, dec-jan, & if global warming or the coming apocalypse has anything to do with it, there's been e skip in the 'off season' fairly frequently the past few years. so if you wanna hear some noise, tune into 27.025AM during those months. i'm sure you'll find more then a few days with noise levels better then 40 over 9.
6m & 2m ssb.....challenging but fun
